A place to discuss the characteristics of the cars in Formula One, both current as well as historical. Laptimes, driver worshipping and team chatter do not belong here.

To clarify: Posted the picture because something has changed there an not because i saw blown wheels axels!
I see.

How on Earth did you know something had changed, can you recall how the old wheel guns look like from memory!?

No of course not. Saw the video and everytime i had the feeling something has changed i took a screenshot and did a bit research (to remind myself how it looks last year) on the net. And if my feeling was correct i posted the picture.

So when you say you felt something had changed, do you mean around the car in generally and while checking images you noticed the change to the wheel gun?

I saw the sequence with the wheel and meant: "there is a change. it looks different. take a screenshot and compare it to last year wheel and wrench (or wheel gun) to be sure and claryfied!". After comparision i saw what exactly (the detail) looks different. The wheel gun tip. Why has it changed if the nuts are the same? Logically the wheel nut has changed too. But we can not see the wheel nut. In this case i just renounce to mark and name what i saw has changed like i did with other pictures because we can not see the wheel nut and i have not the vocabulary to explain what i mean. My english vocabulary knowledge is quite manageably. Sometimes it is quite hard for me to express myself in english. Sorry.

After digging on the html code and finding the original file and do some editing to enhance the shadows this is the best I could do from the video still https://www.dropbox.com/s/9i8yxxbvsp023 ... 3.png?dl=0

Well, you have a very good eye! :)

BTW, your English is very good and I understood your explanations.

From some of the blury pictures I got the impression that they make the undercut under the top air intake even longer (about one more time or more). It's hard to say need to wait for beter pictures.

For the bigger intake - could it be that they incorporate this solution into one big intake? http://twitter.com/AlbertFabrega/status ... 08/photo/1

Thank you.

And after a second look at the pictures i notice that the gun itself (housing) has changed too. Did not see that. :lol:
Many changes this year.

I do not think so. Take a look at the last pictures of the W06... What do you think (after a comparision)?

Something i have noticed but i am not quite sure about that... the upper tip of the airbox seems to be a little bit longer than the buttom (overhanging). On some pictures it seems to be the case in some other pictures not.

I would say i am sure to about 70% it is the case. And it makes sense to design such an overhanging tip. More upwashed air from the helmet can flow into the box. Can not wait till tomorow. I am quite horny to see this beauty (not in an sexual way).

OT: I don't understand one thing. Why some journalist doesn't go near the track with some teleobjective and take some real pictures when they know there is filming day? I don't like these blury pics, it could be W06 and nobady knows :?
